Good Saturday afternoon, Broncos fans. And happy weekend. This is your Super Bowl edition of the Broncos Insider newsletter coming to you from New York City.

"JOHN FOX’S RESILIENCE, really, is a microcosm of the Broncos’ 15-3 season,writes The Denver Post’s Benjamin Hochman. "Injuries and surgeries and DUIs and suspensions marred Denver’s run to the Super Bowl but never derailed it. Much of the credit goes to the godfather, the raspy-voiced coach who set the tone for the Broncos. ‘Next man up’ isn’t a mantra; it’s a lifestyle. And the 58-year-old Fox splashes his persona upon everything orange, be it his football mind in meetings or his personality in the locker room." http://dpo.st/1aOUCsg

"ON ANY GIVEN SUNDAY, including when Denver plays in Super Bowl XLVIII, the mayor [of Denver, Michael Hancock] and … linebacker [Wesley Woodyard] are likely to exchange text messages. The gist of those messages can range from a simple wassup to keep your head up," writes Post columnist Mark Kiszla.

"Hancock is 44 years old. Woodyard is 17 years younger. You might guess the nature of their relationship is based on rubbing elbows with somebody famous in a different arena. That guess would be wrong. What seems closer to the truth? It’s as if the mayor and linebacker are twin sons of different mothers." http://dpo.st/1bg3n9u

PRESS BOX LIVE RECAP: While the media continues to debate what a second Super Bowl ring will contribute to Peyton Manning’s legacy, Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin wants another Broncos player to earn a Super Bowl ring even more — Wes Welker. Here’s what he had to say on the Press Box Live on Friday. Watch it here:http://dpo.st/1aMzEKw

"THE SEAHAWKS PRIDE THEMSELVES on playing right to the edge of the rules," writes The Post’s Troy Renck from Jersey City, N.J. "Their cornerbacks are pushy, and their safeties fly around the ball." What will Seattle have to do to win, at least in part? Jostle Manning and get him off-script: http://dpo.st/1bg3FgD

MVP MVP MVP! Peyton Manning … is expected to overwhelmingly win his record-fifth most valuable player award during the "NFL Honors" show Saturday night. Of greater uncertainty is whether former Broncos safety John Lynch will make the cut from 15 modern-era Hall of Fame finalists to the five who are elected," writes Mike Klis.

"I’m trying not to have a whole lot of expectations," Lynch said Friday. "I’m trying to find some way to enjoy the process. How you do that is appreciate that people think highly enough of you to be in this conversation." http://dpo.st/1aOUzwB

PERCY HARVIN WON’T HOLD BACK: "He is back for Super Bowl XLVIII, back in New York where six months ago his medical odyssey and mind games began. He is being called the X-factor. He does not like it. Just call him the fastest player on the field. Just call him one of the most fragile too," says Thomas George, reporting for The Post from New York.

"But if he can stay in it, if he can play four quarters at wide receiver and kick returner, the result of his searing eyes and riled nature will be revealed. Harvin is ready to detonate in a way few can."http://dpo.st/1gBkgD5

BROCK LOBSTER TIME. Do you think Brock Osweiler is ready to go in for the Broncos if Peyton Manning goes down? He thinks he’s ready. "If I am called on, I have to do things to be the quarterback expected. I can’t necessarily play like him, but that doesn’t mean I can’t produce. I’ve prepared for a moment like this all of my life," he’s quoted as saying by Thomas George, writing for The Post.http://bit.ly/1bi2Ir6

CAN MATT PRATER KICK a record breaking field goal at the Super Bowl? Post reporter Ryan Parker writes about three scientists from the Denver Museum of Nature and Science who created a model of conditions on Sunday. "If the ball is kicked in windless conditions, in East Rutherford [New Jersey, site of Super Bowl XLVIII] the ball would travel 59.5 yards, or 4.5 yards less than it would travel in Denver at the same moment in time. … New Jersey’s higher pressure and warmer weather makes it harder to kick a long field goal than in Denver," according to their findings. http://dpo.st/1ftHVSp

FORECAST UPDATE:Sunday dayside for East Rutherford, N.J.: "A slight chance of light rain before 10 a.m., then a slight chance of showers after 10 a.m. Areas of fog before noon. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a high near 48. West wind 3 to 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20 percent. … according to the National Weather Service … Sunday night:A slight chance of rain before 11 p.m,, then a slight chance of rain and sleet between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m., then a chance of rain and snow after 2 a.m. Cloudy, with a low around 31. North wind 5 to 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40 percent, NWS says: http://1.usa.gov/1fkLXuJ

THE ODDS: Broncos continue to hold a 2 to 2.5-point advantage in the point spread, depending on the sportsbook. Latest updates here:http://dpo.st/1cyWW3S

MAYOR MICHAEL HANCOCK is in New York pushing two messages: "Go Broncos" and bring the Super Bowl to Denver," Bianca Prieto writes for The Post. "We have the infrastructure to host this event in the future," Hancock said. "We have the hotel rooms, the transportation and the stadiums that would make it work. We’ve hosted events of this scale in the past and have been successful."http://dpo.st/1dSxZgS

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED: Both Super Bowl coaches engaged in their teams’ last general media session Friday morning, and the message from the Broncos’ John Fox and the Seahawks’ Pete Carroll was to expect the unexpected, writes Bob Ehalt for The Denver Post.http://dpo.st/1dSxZgS

ANOTHER COLD-WEATHER SUPER BOWL? NFL commissioner Roger Goddell isn’t ruling out another Super Bowl in a cold-weather city, writes Bob Ehalt. "I think we’ll all look back at this as a very important time in our history," he said about the league’s first outdoor Super Bowl in a cold-weather city. "We know there’s interest in other communities about hosting the Super Bowl. The ownership will sit back and review that when we’re done, but we have a very aggressive process in how you select cities." http://dpo.st/1fu1nPq

QUOTABLE: "I was on the field for that play and when I saw John [Elway’s] face it was a look of ultimate accomplishment, happiness and relief that it was over. I still can see him now." Ed McCaffrey, on the Broncos’ first Super Bowl win: http://dpo.st/1bg5SbO

JOHN FOX: BRONCOS READY: After the Broncos finished their final full practice of the season, Fox had this to say, per the NFL pool report from Jarrett Bell: "I feel good about where we are. Our guys have worked hard all week, and the preparation’s been good. Excited to play the game." http://dpo.st/MGA2zF

JOHN ELWAY’S WINNING WAYS is the key for the Broncos’ success, writes Seattle Times columnist Larry Stone. "A guy as successful as John, who’s been paid a tremendous amount of money, went to three Super Bowls, got his butt kicked, and still kept fighting for that ultimate prize … man, that winning, that championship mentality, that’s what he took upstairs," former Broncos running back Terrell Davis said. http://bit.ly/1fxEzOm

RUSSELL WILSON A DUAL THREAT. The Denver Broncos defense is preparing to contain Seattle’s versatile quarterback, writes Joshua Mayers of the Seattle Times. “It’s tough," Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey said. "I don’t know if I prefer him to run it or throw it because he is dangerous both ways." http://bit.ly/1n4LGyM

WILSON A GAME MANAGER? "Don’t answer that. It’s an ill-defined, subjective, loaded term, so let’s just get this out of the way: having a debate about whether a quarterback is a so-called game manager is going to come down to an argument about semantics," SB Nation’s Danny Kelly writes in his piece examining what kind of quarterback Russell Wilson is. http://bit.ly/1fxdn2T

RICHARD SHERMAN HEARTS PETE CARROLL. Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman shares his fondness for his head coach in his piece, "A Love Letter to Coach Carroll." "He saw it in me before anyone else — the ability to be a shutdown corner — when I was still in high school. But even though I didn’t wind up playing for Pete Carroll at USC, I’m sure glad I am now. If you’re looking for reasons the Seahawks are in the Super Bowl, start with him. And it’s not just his game plans, either," Sherman writes in The MMQB. http://bit.ly/1bi2Ir6

DERRICK COLEMAN has never been a quitter, writes Fansided’s Josh Planos in his piece about Seattle’s deaf running back. "Beneath the jersey, he’s moving the jeers and 20 years worth of pejorative commentary to his shoulder pads, and he carries that weight like a feather into a brick wall of giants. When Derrick Coleman runs the football, he bites down, and explodes as if he’s trying to run into eternity."http://fansided.com/2014/01/28/derrick-coleman-sound-silence
